About
Mireia Usart is a leading researcher in Educational Robotics (ER), with a focus on teacher training, early childhood education, and the integration of 21st-century skills and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into technology-enhanced learning. Her most cited work, “An overview of teacher training programs in educational robotics” (100 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of best practices and recommendations for preparing educators to implement ER effectively. She has also explored preschool teachers’ acceptance and self-efficacy toward ER (58 citations), demonstrating how targeted university courses can build confidence and competence in pre-service teachers. Usart’s research extends to evaluating robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League, where she examines how these contexts foster collaboration, problem-solving, and gender-inclusive learning. Her work on integrating SDGs into ER teacher education (49 citations) highlights her commitment to using robotics as a tool for broader societal goals. With a growing body of impactful studies, Usart is shaping how educators and institutions adopt robotics to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world.
